had a chance to sample this last night when our beverage purveyor wanted to reward the kitchen for a banquet function we worked. she brought in 4 cases for us, and at 9.0% abv i can still safely say they got polished off by the end of the night. seriously delicious stuff right here.

^that looks amazing

must find!

With the ridiculous state of affairs regarding U.K taxation and beers dropping below the 5% mark it is good to find a good tasting lager @ 6% that is still cheap to buy and tastes decent. My local off license does a roaring trade with any Polish beer available at £1 per 500ml can.

how bad are the taxes there?

like Canada tax bad?

in the spirit of drinking with...eh low taxation

^That looks beautimous.

I love this thread now that we have so much micro / craft beer talk in here. Got lots of stuff to try out.

Surly's "SurlyFest" and "Bitter Brewer" are some of the best I've ever had; Founders/New Glarus/Bells included, and highly recommended to anyone who's into craft beer/micros. Actually same goes for any Surly, but those are two I tried only last week.

Right now though, just Newcastle Brown Ale.

I'm in the UK right now and sampling some beers I can't get (easily) stateside. I've always enjoyed wheat beers but none as much as this here.

Mojo · 09-23-2012, 04:25 AM

Hoegarden is a good one. Have you tried Erdinger? As far as wheat beers go, you should be able to find that one rather easily.

Where abouts in the UK are you?

~~someonecompletelyrandom~~ · 09-23-2012, 04:33 AM

I have not, I'll keep an eye out for it. The variety of beers here is astonishing. Stateside it's more of a hassle to find anything other than the big domestic brewers/imports.

I'm in central London, at the moment. Stone's throw from Kensington.
